Why hockey players get sore

Hockey is played in a low, bent-over position. Holding that stance for a whole match puts a lot of load on the lower back, hamstrings and hip flexors. Quick sprints and sudden changes of direction strain the groin, calves and ankles. Players also take repeated knocks to the legs and use the forearms and wrists hard to control the stick.

How sports massage helps hockey players

Sports massage can help players in three ways:

• Pre-season: find tight areas and old niggles before the season starts.

• During the season: regular sessions help ease the build-up of tension from weekly matches and training.

• After a heavy weekend: a lighter session helps tired legs and backs recover before the next training night.

If a niggle keeps coming back, soft tissue therapy can also look at why. For example, tight hips can add strain to the lower back.

Supporting local clubs

I am always happy to support local sports clubs in Tiverton, Cullompton and Mid Devon. If your club is running a fundraiser or raffle, or would like to talk about treatment for players, please get in touch.
